New Romantic Dark Fantasy Academy!

Hello everyone on here! Welcome to my very first post on this website! :)

Given this is a new name, series, book, world... I'm still playing catch-up in a lot of ways, including on here, in terms of pulling all the elements together. It's been a long time since I've done such a big new thing as a writer, and probably long overdue, but it means I'm trying to learn a lot of new stuff all at once, which is both terrifying and, well, fun.

But since this is my first "real" post on here, I think I'd better start with the big news! I have a brand new (romantic!) dark academy release!

My very first Jules D'Or novel is now live! 🖤🐍

It's also available on Kindle Unlimited!

“You should be afraid of me, mongrel. I keep telling you that.”

The first hybrid in Magique in a thousand years, Leda Shadow finally learns why her parents died, years after seeing them murdered outside a tube stop in London. Their deaths left Leda to raise her younger brother virtually alone, all while attending school, trying to get a scholarship to a prestigious university in the hopes of bettering their fates.

Just as she gets everything she wanted, her aunt comes to take her away. Nineteen-year-old Leda soon finds herself enrolled in a very different university, one filled with dark and light magics, adult Magicals who shudder at her touch, ghostly animals channeling otherworldly beings, and students who perform unbelievable supernatural feats.

She can’t return home. She can’t see her brother. Most Magicals view her as a lesser creature, a near-animal, yet Leda can’t deny her resonance with this strange world. She should be grateful, her aunt tells her. Founded by the illustrious Bones family, a family as infamous for their power and wealth as they are for their dark magic, the prestigious university, Malcroix Bones Academy, never admitted a half-human before. The male heir to that family, Caelum Bones, is even her classmate.

Of course, he despises her on sight. But when someone tries to kill Leda, Caelum learns something strange about both of their magics. Together they make a pact. He’ll help her stay alive, and she’ll help him with his magical “problem,” and absolutely no one will know of their agreement. But as the school year unfolds, their already-volatile relationship gets increasingly complicated.

And Caelum’s got a rep as the biggest prick in school for a reason.

I've spent a bunch of the past few days working on slideshows and teasers to share on Instagram and other places, which isn't something I've done a lot of in the past either! It's a lot of fun, especially working with a lot of human artists, but it is time consuming! I'll try to share some of those on here, too, once I've started to put them out into the world.

In the meantime, I really hope you like the new book! If you do, it would be awesome if you left a review! As a brand new author name out there, every single review helps so much!

And hope you're all enjoying your spooky month so far!

Best wishes,

Jules
